Colours, Cabinet of Cornish Curiosities and Clematis

1    One of my favourite shops in Truro, the fabric shop, also delighted J who loved all the coloured ribbons.

On the Radio, Seeds and A New Birdhouse

1   Yesterday at the Museum, I was interviewed by BBC Radio Cornwall about what object I was putting into the Wildworks’  Cabinet of Cornish Curiosities and my piece was used in the Breakfast programme!   You can read about my object here.

2   I ordered some seeds a couple of days ago and they arrived today! I am so impressed with the company! They are called Seedaholic and provide a fantastic service. The seeds came beautifully packed and with all manner of useful and interesting information.  The ground is now ready and I plan to sow them tomorrow.

3   We’ve bought the most delightful new birdhouse with two storeys, the top one a nesting box and the lower level for seeds. The lovely Mr S put it up last night and whenever I see it, it makes me smile!
